Why do so many people on this site share their opinion in anger?
What happened to simple discussions? Trying to see matters from another person's perspective.
You're not even trying to understand what I'm saying. You're barely even reading it before flaring up and yelling.
You are acting immature and childish.
So? That does not excuse the brutal murder of the ENTIRE PLANET. It only makes it WORSE.
It's not murder if it is completely lawful and justified.
Many scriptures record that ancient prophets knew of the coming of the Flood many centuries before it came and that they were instructed by the Lord to warn the people that if they did not mend their ways they would all drown.
The wicked people who lived on the Earth at the time were damning one another and all future generations of God's children.
You wouldn't stop one of your children from hurting another of your children? From killing another one of your children?
You keep forgetting that physical death is not the end of our existence. We are eternal creatures.
Our leaving this world is literally just like exiting one room and going into another. It's a transition.
Removing those people from mortality was the right thing to do.
So freaking WHAT? DOES THAT INCLUDE THE LITTLE BABIES WHO COULD NOT EVEN SPEAK?
Brutal MURDER.
It's not murder if it is lawful and justified.
The people were warned that they and their children would be removed if they did not amend their ways.
If someone who is hurting my child refuses to follow my warnings to stop or I shoot them - it's not my fault if they get shot.
Nope. Noah was a serious SCREW-UP. A drunken sot. A man SO BRUTAL, that his wife of 600 years only granted him FOUR SONS!
How did Noah screw up?
The Bible records Noah getting drunk
only once. It is your opinion that anyone who gets drunk once is a "serious screw-up"?
Also, where does it say that Noah had only four sons?
The record claims that only four of his sons helped build the Ark and were saved from the Flood, but it does not claim that Noah had only the four children.
It is possible he had other children - even other wives - that refused to follow the Lord's instruction.
According to who? You?
The Bible claims that Noah was "perfect in his generation".
It appears that God is more forgiving than you are.
Imagine? 100% correct-- PURE IMAGINATION YOU ARE DOING THERE-- AND NOT REMOTELY MORAL, EITHER. You are making MY case here!
No, it is not "pure imagination". It is a core belief of my religion.
I asked you to "imagine" it because I knew that you do not hold to that belief.
I believe with all my heart that we all lived with God before coming to Earth and that He had to remove the people in the days of the Flood in order to save the vast majority of HIs other children.
They had their time. They had their warnings. They had their chance. They blew it and were removed.
The ironic thing is that God removing them from mortality actually made it possible for them to potentially receive the Gospel and still be saved.
EXCEPT THE PARENT IS NOT MURDERING THE CHILD IN COLD BLOOD!
No one was destroyed in the Flood.
Everyone that has ever lived and died on the Earth still exists somewhere in the spirit world.
And they will continue to exist forever because they are children of God -eternal Beings.
Comparison? FAIL-- to 100%!
You're just unwilling to accept very basic principle of this life and eternity.
Your'e so busy being angry and outraged you're unable to see reason.
LMAO! Your horribly inept godling could think of NOTHING ELSE than to DESTROY THE WHOLE PLANET? BIRDS. TREES. ALL ANIMALS. ALL FLOWERS.
He obviously did not destroy the Earth considering that it is still here in all it's beauty.
Birds. Trees. All the animals. The flowers. All still here.
What would you have God do when He has to remove an entire generation of people around the entire planet?
I'm sure there were other methods He could have used, but the Flood was the least harmful to the Earth. The perfect solution.
Your god must REALLY HATE PUPPIES.
Obviously not since there are puppies today due to His command that they be preserved on the Ark.
LOL! Yeah-- your god is SO BRUTAL, SO INCOMPETENT, that it cannot muster up "forgive" WITHOUT A BRUTAL MURDER FIRST.
I'm sorry, but you're really not putting much thought into this.
Mankind had been living on Earth for over a thousand years before the Flood. Over a thousand years of teaching and forgiving.
The people rejected His teachings and made it impossible for new generations of God's children to live righteously.
The wicked needed to be removed and they will eventually receive forgiveness before the day of their Resurrection.
THE MORE BRUTAL THE TORTURE-MURDER? THE BETTER YOUR GOD LIKES IT.
That's one sick monster you got there-- it'd be a SHAME if it were actually REAL.
Your god? Worse than the equally fictional Voldemort. Seriously.
More examples of your immaturity and ignorance.
